[2011 TV Thread]

So yeah, 30 mins in and Breaking Bad is bringing it.

 

Loved the last scene. Next week is going to be awesome.

[2011 AL Central Catch-All Thread]

Tigers Rotation--

 

Scherzer- KC, Chi, Min, Oak, KC, Cle

Fister- KC, Cle, Min, Oak, Bal, Cle

Porcello- KC, Cle, Chi, Oak, Bal, Cle

Turner- KC

Verlander- Chi, Cle, Chi, Oak, Bal

Penny- Chi, Min, Chi, KC, Bal

 

Playoff Rotation- Verlander, Scherzer, Fister, Porcello

 

They can't possibly play under .500 with that schedule.

[2011 White Sox Catch-All Thread]

This week:

 

Monday: Slowey-Buehrle

Tuesday: Swarzak- Stewart

Wednesday: Diamond- Peavy

 

Friday: Danks - Verlander

Saturday: Floyd - Penny

Sunday: Buehrle - Scherzer

 

Then Humber and Stewart will start the doubleheader in Minnesota on Labor Day. Peavy and Danks follow.

 

Then...

vs Cleveland-- Floyd, Buehrle, Humber, Peavy

vs Detroit-- Danks, Floyd, Buehrle

 

Not likely they're still in it, but with a month left, might as well still have some hope.

 

 

[Which of the underperfomers will figure it out in 2012?]

I wasn't around the game thread today, but damn Beckham had some great swings today....that's what we need next year.

[2011 White Sox Catch-All Thread]

Sox go 10-7 in Seattle, LAA, and Oakland this year. Remember when they sucked out there?

 

If you include Colorado and Arizona, they were 14-9 in the pac/mtn time zones.

[8/27 games]

Good to see Santiago still having good outings.

 

 

[8/27 games]

Isn't Charlotte playing now?

[2011 AL Central Catch-All Thread]

Tigers are 1.5 out from the 2-seed.

 

It seemed like the Yankees and Red Sox were playing to face Verlander twice in a 5-game series, but it still could be the AL West winner against the AL East winner.

 

I'm rooting for a Tigers/Brewers World Series. Both are great baseball towns with fans that get it.

[8/27 GT - SOX @ M's - 9:10pm CDT - CSN]

It doesn't bother me he's not playing tonight. The team is out of it.

 

I didn't like Beckham playing the day he got called up either. He flew in from Charlotte and played a day game. He then proceeded to start his career 2-28.

[8/26 games]

Viciedo was pulled out of the game in the second inning.

 

Hopefully he's not hurt.

 

Quentin is on the DL.

[2011 AL Central Catch-All Thread]

Thome batting cleanup for the Tribe tonight. Hope he enjoys his five weeks there, but the fans that booed him for years shouldn't be allowed to cheer for him now.

[8/26 GT - SOX @ M's - 9:10pm CDT - CSN]

Pierre, Lillibridge, Konerko, Rios, Ramirez, Flowers, De Aza, Morel, Beckham

[2011 AL Central Catch-All Thread]

Team record when each pitcher starts:

 

Verlander: 20-8

Sabathia: 19-9

Beckett: 18-7

Weaver: 18-9

 

He hasn't been all that much more valuable to his team than other starters. He seems more valuable because of the rest of his team's struggles.

 

It's one piece of the equation. You have team record, quality starts, innings pitched, ERA, WHIP, strikeouts, performance following a loss.

 

I think if you take everything in consideration, Verlander runs away with the Cy, and is a legitimate MVP candidate.

[2011 MLB Catch-All Thread]

The Blue Jays can't quit D-wise.

[Who starts for Sox in '12]

Not happening. Beckham will be fine.

 

I used to say things like this, and now I don't know.

 

What happened to him? This may deserve its own thread discussion.

[Who starts for Sox in '12]

Sure if you mean 63 wins for an entire season...

 

If I knew the Sox were taking a step back for a year or two for the greater purpose of having a consistent farm system and ability to produce their own players for 2014-2020, I'd be ok with a 99-loss season.

 

Nothing is worse than a mediocre to bad veteran team, and that's what we've been given the last few years. Enough is enough.

[2011 Minor League Catch-All Thread]

Cooper was asked this morning if Santiago and Lindsay would be coming up in September, and he didn't commit but he did mention Addison Reed as a possibility, so I would assume there's a real good chance he's getting added to the 40-man next week.

[Sox Did Not Put in a claim on Kubel or Thome]

I wish him well playing out the string for five weeks for a lot of fans that booed him for years like they scum they are.

[Sox Did Not Put in a claim on Kubel or Thome]

Can't understand why Thome wants to play out the string in Cleveland, but whatever.

[2011 White Sox Catch-All Thread]

7 out.

 

Tragic Number: 27

[Peavy with an eye on '12]

Based on what exactly? I'd love to hear this

 

Just his overall persona.

 

That good ole boy, hillbilly s*** just doesn't rub me the right way.

[Peavy with an eye on '12]

I've always felt Peavy has hated playing for the Sox, and really I can't blame him now.

 

He's a douche, but this organization sucks right now.

 

So I hope he finishes strong next year or gets traded mid-season, and smell ya later.

[Indians awarded claim on Thome]

Can we now change the thread title that the Sox did not claim Thome???

 

Ken_Rosenthal Ken Rosenthal

Sources: #Indians awarded claim on Thome, #WhiteSox awarded claim on Kubel. Thome has no-trade clause; preference is #Phillies.

 

I would be shocked if Thome approved a trade to Cleveland.

 

Kubel? Now? Why?

 

Don't do it.

[Indians awarded claim on Thome]

Kubel is a guy I think the White Sox could use, but finding a spot for him and a contract for him after this year could be tough.

 

Use how?

 

Do people really think the Sox are still in it?

[(Insert Celeb Here) is Dead]

Songwriter Nick Ashford of Ashford and Simpson died yesterday.

 

And now he's solid....solid as a rock.

 

Sorry.
